I don't know about anyone else, but I am still waiting for Michael Schiavo to make a correction on his blog about what "actually" took place in Colorado when he went there (to the debate) to supposedly ask Congresswoman Musgrave one question and she and her staff supposedly tried to have him removed. He called it, "My unreal night in Colorado - with radio link" (Thu Oct 26, 2006 at 08:05:14 PM PST). I'll say (from what I read) that it was his "unreal night".
As I said before in "Standing up and Admitting a Mistake: Not Schiavo's Style?", if four uniformed officers were around my seat, I would have some idea of what was going on. I certainly wouldn't be sitting in "duh mode" to only be told later of what took place right there around me, as Michael suggests he was. If Michael's account is realistic -- his response and reaction is not. Nor is his response appropriate now that he has "learned" what he was "allegedly told" is not what took place. One would think if he can't get the words out that he was mistaken, he could at least have removed the inaccurate entry from his blog.
He has done neither.
I'm also still waiting to read about, "Also, maybe tomorrow I'll post about my election-eve rally with Bill Clinton in Florida." (A real election impact by Michael Schiavo, Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 10:40:34 AM PST). Indeed, I would love to read that story by Michael, since I read it was not possible. Not if he was implying it was the Bill Clinton that is the former President of the United States. Will be interesting to see what he says about that if he ever does.
If Michael couldn't get it straight what happened at the Musgrave debate or even if he spent election-eve with former President Bill Clinton -- do you suppose he might have gotten Terri Schiavo's wishes mixed-up as well? (He does claim to have a bad memory from what I read.) Makes one wonder. At least makes me wonder. Whatever...
I'm still waiting for the corrections if not the explanations!

As stated before, the Court found the law met all three parts. The Court focused on the State’s interest in the protecting the life of the fetus in order to correct a problem perpetuated by Roe and subsequent rulings. Agreeing with the decision in Casey, Kennedy wrote, “The Court’s precedents after Roe had ‘undervalue[d] the State’s interest in potential life.’” Here the Court agreed with Congress that killing partially delivered babies can only result in a dehumanized society. As such, protecting newborns and other vulnerable lives may become more difficult. Human dignity has already begun to diminish. We have witnessed during the past ten years assisted suicides and the euthanasia of Terri Schiavo. In other countries like Belgium and Netherlands, the elderly have already become victims of state mandated euthanasia.

Seven years ago the court struck down a Nebraska ban on the same procedure because the ban did not have a provision for the health of the mother. Now that O'Connor has been replaced by Alito, the court has changed its mind.
We think this ruling is one in a series of alarming cases of the federal government deciding it can play doctor. After tramping all over private rights in the Terry Schiavo case and an attack on states' rights about Oregon's legalization of euthanasia, the Supreme Court has decided to ban one procedure it finds distasteful at the expense of a mother's safety

It is rather difficult to imagine even two years ago when the Democrats seemed like a party without a say in the government, a platform or even the leaders to provide either of the two. The lack of a platform was one of the most important criticisms of Democrats in the 2002 and 2004 elections. Every one knew that Republicans stood for a strong military and pro-life issues, and stood against gay rights, euthanasia (i.e. Terri Schiavo case), stem cell research and big government; however, it was difficult to decipher what exactly the Democrats stood for.

Could she possibly mean that Terri, a woman, was relegated to afterthought? Nope.
May I remind you what else was happening on the very day in 2003 when Congress passed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban. In Florida, the Legislature passed a law that gave politicians the power to override Terri Schiavo's wishes and have her feeding tube reinserted.
Up and down the East Coast, under two Bush administrations -- George and Jeb -- politicians were playing doctor and God and patient, trumping both medical opinion and individual rights.

IMO, Michael flunks any kind of test for sociopathic personality. You can find all sorts of material or tests about it on the 'Net. With the reams of information that have come about his behavior for years, we have a lot to go on for such testing.
When I was reading a book about the Scott Peterson case, I pulled out a legal pad and started taking notes. If I found TWO references to a given sociopathic trait, I checked him positive for that trait. He scored 14 out of 17 on the scale I was using. Michael Schiavo scores a perfect 17 so he is actually higher on the sociopathic scale than convicted murderer Scott Peterson.
The following from Wikipedia (just because that's a quick and easy reference).
"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental and behavioral disorders, defines antisocial personality disorder as a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
2. deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others
6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations
7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another
Can we pass Michael Schiavo on even one point? I don't think so. We do pass Scott Peterson on #3. He is a meticulous planner, not impulsive.
Medically sound. Very sensible guidelines. They should apply for all humans, not just Catholics. Taking food and water away from a non-terminal patient is not an “end of life issue.” It is murder.
Washington, DC -- Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro- Choice America, issued the following statement in response to today's Supreme Court decision in the Federal Abortion Ban cases.
"Today's decision shows Bush's appointees have moved the Court in a direction that could further undermine Roe v. Wade and protections for women's health. The door is now open for politicians like George W. Bush to interfere even more in our personal, private medical decisions. The Court has given anti-choice state lawmakers the green light to open the flood gates and launch additional attacks on safe, legal abortion, without any regard for women's health.
"The bottom line is clear: elections matter. An anti- choice Congress and an anti-choice president pushed this ban all the way to the Supreme Court. In fact, the same politicians behind this abortion ban also block stem-cell research and interfered in the Terri Schiavo case. We need to elect more pro-choice members of Congress and a president who will stand up for-not attack-our fundamental values of freedom and privacy.
Supreme Court Decision Marks Setback for Women's Health and Privacy

The recent Supreme Court ruling regarding a woman's right to choose whether or not to become a mother or to continue a pregnancy if problems develop demeans women ("Court clips abortion rights," April 19).
The ruling takes away the inherent right of a woman to make decisions about her body. The fetus has more rights than the female who carries it. It inserts a politician between patient and doctor. One recalls the Terri Schiavo case. The decision prohibits doctors from giving advice on the best health interests of both the woman and the fetus and from acting on that advice. Thus, the medical profession loses influence and freedom also.

I hate to say it again, but guess it has to be said:
Free Republic is a conservative site.
As a conservative site, we are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-America.
Like-minded folks know immediately what this means and why we will never "move on from abortion" as Rudy Giuliani and his supporters ask us to do.
Think about it.
You might as well be asking us to deny God. To deny the Creator that gave us life and liberty. To give up our children. To surrender our country to the left. To give up our freedom. To give up our faith and our belief in God's Word.
Why insult us like this?
~Snip~
This is Free Republic. We ARE the dissent! We fight for life and liberty! We fight for our traditional American family values! We proudly and diligently defend our Christian/Judeo heritage, our country, our constitution, and our right to be free and to freely worship our God!
IMHO, those of you who cannot or will not understand these simple truths will never understand what FR is all about, what the pro-life movement is all about, what conservatism is all about, or even what freedom is all about.
Move on from abortion? Not on your life!

It was the greatest night of my life.
Although i still had not found a wife
I had my friends
Right there beside me.
We were close together.
We tripped the wall, we scaled the graveyard
Ancient shapes were all around us.
The wet dew felt fresh beside the fog.
Two made love in an ancient spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
And i gave empty sermons to my head.
Cemetery, cool and quiet
Hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day.
Yeah!

BIRMINGHAM, April 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The UK’s Evening Standard reports on a new study of hospitals in the West Midlands region of England that has found that one in 30 babies aborted for medical reasons is born alive and lived for an average of 80 minutes.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld the ban on partial-birth abortion that was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Bush in 2003. This is an event of historic progress for the pro-life cause, whose ultimate goal is to restore protection to every unborn child, at every stage of development. For the first time since Roe vs. Wade, the United States of America has actually banned an abortion procedure, rather than just regulated it.
The pro-abortion forces attempted to strike down the ban because it does not have a health exception. The Court, however, said that the ban's opponents failed to demonstrate that the need for a health exception was extensive enough to render the law unconstitutional. The Court also rejected the arguments that the ban is too broad or too vague. The wording of the ban is clear enough for abortionists to know when they are and are not violating the law.

Here is how the Georgia anthem SHOULD sound:
Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Tutti frutti, oh rutti,
Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom!
In one ear worm I have “light my fire” and in the other, “tutti frutti” Thanks alot!
It is the subtle message, the sublime, the lime, that is so deep...
All the famous defenders of "women" treated Terri like scum. They saw her as the Taney court saw Dred Scott -- mere chattel with no rights. The irony that they were giving a HUSBAND total patriarchal rights of life or death over his wife did not enter their brainless heads.
